Starting point is 00:00:36 The link is in the description. One day I made a decision that if nothing's enough, I'm tired of being average. I'm tired. I'm tired of being good. I'm tired. I want to go to the dealers shipping by the best car. I want to move to the nicest neighborhood. I want to fly first class.
Starting point is 00:00:59 I want to go to Hawaii. I want to go to our show. I made a decision enough is enough. It's showtime. Will the real Eric Thomas please stand up? Some of you in the room right now, you are where you are, you're giving 60% when you have 120 in you. Why?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Because you've never made a decision. Sh, there are those of you in this room. You're already there. Your problem is this and stuff. You don't want to give up the goal. You're talented. You just don't want to give up sleep. Listen to me.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Listen to me, pound for pound, any agent in the room, pound for power, motivational speaker, power for power, entrepreneur, power for power, athlete, power for pile, weightlifter, power for power, whatever you do. I guarantee you, when you do it, nobody can do it like you do it. The problem is you don't hardly do it.
Starting point is 00:01:51 You love sleep too much. You love that alcohol too much. You love that substance too much. You love that vice too much. There's something that you love more than yourself, than your dream, Then your goal, watch what happens when you have a goal that only has two reasons. See how long that lasts.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Watch a goal that has 50 reasons and see how. Somebody called me the other day on the interview. Stupid question. E.T., what do you feel like on the days that you don't feel like? Ask the question again, please. What do you do on the days that you don't feel like? So I'm going to be honest with you. I'm way past that.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Every day I feel like. Every day I feel like eating. Every day I feel like giving my wife the best life. Every day I feel like driving in a nice car. Every day I feel like flying first class. Every single day of my life, I feel like giving 100% of the day. Every single day, somebody said yesterday, ET, you gave 120. What you're gonna do tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:02:53 I said, I don't know. Get 140. I don't know, but I don't have days where I don't feel like it. Why? Because I'm counting on me. My wife's counting on me. I don't have days to waste. No more 50% no more. No more 70% no more. I want us an 85 climb If you're 80 I want you at 90 and I mean moving rapidly Not rocket science and the universe is not responding you correctly because your body leverage sucks Your spirit sucks I need you to give me that 120. I need you to give me that everything you do I need you start giving me that 120 and everything you do
Starting point is 00:03:39 bring it all together, bring all the energy, all the passion, bring it all together and dominate. Live your life like you're the hero in your movie. And right now, pretend you're in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a loser. If I got a fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem. I'm just saying, for real, some of you broke and you still entertained. I'm talking about those of you are complaining about your job. You ain't got no money and you sitting here complaining. planning about, but then you're watching all the TV programs.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I'm never going to feel like doing the things that are tough or difficult or uncertain or scary or new, so I need to stop waiting until I feel like it. We all have a habit of hesitating. The idea isn't going to execute itself, and the book isn't going to write itself, and the weights out in the gym, they're not going to move themselves. You have to do it, and you have to do it now. You're out there. Who wants it you have? Who wants the position you are? Who wants the job you have? Who wants the wife that you have? Or the husband? There's someone not you're hungry. It wants everything you can have. But if you're lazy, man, I don't want to talk to you. I want to deal with you. You don't make me feel dumber. You know, you're going to lower my level. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:05:05 The reason why you're so lazy is not because you don't have the ability. You're so lazy because your dreams don't fall. I believe in myself every day. I know I make mistakes. I know I'm not perfect, but I am not lazy. You can keep sleeping. I'm going to keep working. They say things like, I'll start Monday. It's not my fault.
Starting point is 00:05:27 It's not fair. I'm too damn tired. Or my personal favorite, I don't have enough time. They have a loser mentality through and through. And until they recognize it, the problem is them, they'll never improve. I know many talented people who had a great deal of potential, but they never realized their greatness, and they will end up going to their grave with all the good stuff still in it. You will be tested in how you face that test, and how you overcome that test,
Starting point is 00:05:57 determine the rest of your life. You've got to have something that is inside you, something that fires you up, something that drives you, something that gives you more power than you've ever had in your life. Your life comes down to your decisions. And if you change your decisions, you will change everything. The best of the best. They don't sleep. They keep working.
Starting point is 00:06:20 What are you going to do? Where do I start? And when's the best time to start? I have the various of roles. What the relentless system does, it's a mindset. Before you have an exceptional skill set, okay? You have to have the right mindset. The fighter jet mentality is that someone who is just determined,
Starting point is 00:06:52 relentlessly obsessed in achieving an outcome in the face of all adversity. I've always had this relentless mentality. And if you say I can't do something, if I fail, if I, you know, mess up, it just motivates me even more. I just become even more hungry. You've got to start with that belief in your mind. I've got this. I can do this.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I can conquer this. They're relentless, they're unstoppable. I didn't want to have to say, I wish I would have done more. You got to put yourself in that cage. I switch my mind to something else. Switch my mode into something else. It's go time.
Starting point is 00:07:39 But the difference between me and most people is, you might be sweeter than me. You might be bigger than me. You might grind. Listen to me, I don't know, you might have money. I don't know where you come from, but you will not. I won't know.
Starting point is 00:07:51 When I'm in that cage, bro, don't touch me, don't talk to me. All in, emotionally and executionally, imperial strategy and an execution. If you want something, you have got to be relentless. When you're sitting there, you're trying to sell your product. You're making phone calls. You're giving a lecture. Whatever it may be.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You're driving a bus. You're a doctor. Whatever it may be, the stronger your mindset is, the greater your skill set is going to be. Make a declaration to yourself. Declair all-out war. It doesn't matter about what happens to you. What matters is what are you going to do about it?
Starting point is 00:08:33 They start their school on Monday morning watching me. They ain't got a daddy. Their daddy in jail. They don't have a brother. Their brother's in jail. They all I got. You don't understand. My son's at Michigan State and I pay for a cat.
Starting point is 00:08:45 My daughter wants to go to Harvard. You don't get it. My sister just had a baby and she ain't making no money. Egg game. All I got is an egg game. I ain't got a B-game. I ain't got to see gay. When I finish, people are relying on me.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Some of y'all, when you get on the field, you forgot what it was like when you was hustling in high school playing ball. When you were in college, hustling to get to this point. If you want something, you've got to be religious. You've got to decide, I deserve this, and I'm going to have it. And you go all out to get it. Your mind has to seek discomfort. It has to seek these difficult tasks.
Starting point is 00:09:36 it. And you have to figure out a way to make your mind enjoy those things. Some people comes easy and some people it doesn't. Some people it takes a long time. I always tell people the best thing you could ever do is force yourself to a schedule. Just write it down. Today I have to do an hour on the treadmill. I have to do an hour. No matter what, even if you're going to walking on it, you're doing an hour in a treadmill. The next time you're going to do it, just maybe, okay, you did an hour and this is the amount of miles you got in. Next time you're going to, you know, add three miles. Put an extra three miles in that one hour. and just keep doing things like that.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Right down. Today I'm going to do 100 push-ups, and I'm going to do 100 push-ups, and I'm going to do 100 chin-ups. That's today. And then force yourself. Force yourself to adhere to a schedule. Make a Monday, Wednesday, Friday workout schedule. Give yourself some time off, you know?
Starting point is 00:10:22 Like don't even crush yourself to the point where you can't do it. Make it so that you really appreciate those Tuesdays and Thursdays. But on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, you're going to get after it, and this is what you're going to do. Most people just try to go workout, and you're kind of aimless, and you show up and you pick up the jump rope and you jump a little rope. Maybe you hit the heavy bag a little bit. Maybe you do some curls.
Starting point is 00:10:43 But you don't really have an aim. That's why people like to hire trainers because a trainer will tell you what to do. Well, you can tell yourself what to do. If you don't have money for a trainer, you don't even have to have equipment. You know, with bodyweight squats, sit-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, you could give yourself a brutal, full-bodyweight workout. And you can find these for free on YouTube. There's a ton of them.
Starting point is 00:11:09 There's a ton of these body weight workouts you can do. Just force yourself. Write it down. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'm going to do 100 push-ups. I'm going to do 100 chin-ups. I'm going to do 100 sit-ups. Even if it takes me off the fucking day.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Even if I have to do 10 and 10 and 10 and keep going all day, just that's what you do. Do 10 push-ups. Take a break for 20 minutes. Do another 10. But get those 100 in. I don't believe in half-assing things. This life is short.
Starting point is 00:11:34 You know, if you get into something, get into it. And if you're not into it, don't be into it. And I think that insanity and greatness are next-door neighbors. And they borrow each other's sugar. That's what I've always said. There's something about mastery, like true mastery, that requires you to shut off massive areas in your life. There's a lot of people that are scared of their ability to do something that's difficult.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I don't know if I could force myself to be disciplined. I don't know if I could force myself to take that kind of action. Well, if you do force yourself to take that kind of action, you don't have that question anymore. That question, I don't know if I can do it. Well, you're doing it. So you obviously do it. Can you do it tomorrow? You do it today, or can you do it tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Just do it. You get so much more benefit out of a struggle that you choose to embark in versus a struggle that life throws upon you. Get out there and go, do something, just go. And then in the middle of doing it, it'll become easy. Even if it's not easy, even if it's hard,
Starting point is 00:12:41 it's easier than not doing it and wishing that you had done it. So how does a lion become the king of the jungle? His mentality. You have heard it said that lions are the king of the jungle. But have you ever stopped and asked yourself?
Starting point is 00:13:03 Why? How can he be the king of the jungle? If he's not the biggest, the elephant is probably one the biggest. He can't be the fastest because that's a cheetah. He can't be the smartest. So he's not the biggest, the fastest or the smartest. So how does the lion become the king of the jungle? What separates the lion from the rest of the animals that crowns him as the king of the jungle?
Starting point is 00:13:26 His mentality, that's the only difference of a lion and the elephant. It's the way a lion thinks. When a lion walks up and sees an elephant, up and sees an elephant, he thinks lunch. An elephant thinks run. The animal kingdom respects the lion more than any other animal in the jungle. You see, lions hunt during storms, and they do most of their hunting at night. They hunt during storms because the noise and the wind makes it hard for prey to see and hear them.
Starting point is 00:13:57 That's the lion's mentality. And it's all mentality. Lions walk around fearlessly, and they are in charge of their own destiny. I'm going to need you to tap into your lion mentality, and conquer your territory. You do not have to be the biggest. You do not have to be the smartest. You do not have to be the fastest.
Starting point is 00:14:18 But you must adopt the mindset of a lion. Have the love for your grit. Have the love with every rep that you push out. It is up to you to get the most of everything that you worked so hard for. What is the lion's mentality? Fearless courage. Bravery.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Leadership, never willing to surrender and will fight unto death. Do you have a alliance mentality? Are you prepared to work? Are you prepared to dig? You got to fight. You got the push. You got to give everything you have. All you need is the power, the strength, and the tenacity to give it everything you got.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Maybe you're just buried in debt. Maybe you need to stand up for something you love. or believe in that others don't understand. Do not give up. Do not give in. Be courageous. Be fearless and going after what it is you want to manifest in your life. Maybe you have tried time and time again and nothing has worked.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Maybe you have become discouraged because you have been on the hunt for your goals for years with no rewards. Let me share something with you. Lines only hunt two hours a day and sneak the other 16 to 20 hours. A lion knows within those two hours, those two hours, they have to give it everything that they have and everyone better get out of their way because they're going to destroy anything in their path. You must keep hunting. You must keep fighting. There's no guarantee that anything will pay off today. But if you keep going, there are possibilities. The only guarantee is failure if you quit. The guarantee of missing out on your next opportunity and creating the life that you claim you want for yourself.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It ain't going to be easy. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to going to be a walk in the park. There's always more to give. You've got to be willing to sacrifice. You've got to be willing to hurt. You've got to be willing to yell out. Whatever it takes, keep pushing forward. Don't you give up on your life?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Be brave. The lion is brave. Lions are ready to face danger and pain, and they go in 100%. Lions cannot afford to second guess their ability because it could cost them their life. How different would your life be if you were as brave as the lion?
Starting point is 00:16:47 What could you accomplish? What was you attempt? What have you decided to believe in yourself in the gifts that you possess? How far could you go? How far could you climb if you just believe in your abilities? What sets you apart from the pack?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Once an obstacle confronts you, you're going to kick it down. You're going to overcome. You're going to rise. If you trust yourself, it will come to you at the right time in which you need it. I have too much to accomplish to be satisfied with where I am right now. Pray doesn't lie there waiting to be eaten. Pray runs, jumps, and does whatever it is necessary to survive the unbreakable bravery of a lion.
Starting point is 00:17:31 The lion doesn't stop fighting because if prey puts up a fight. How would your life change if you continue to fight in the face of adversity? What dreams would you accomplish? What barriers could you break down if you kept fighting? Even though life is putting up a fight. You are responsible for your results. You know what's best for you, and only you know what it requires to live the life you want to live.
Starting point is 00:17:56 You are enough and you have what you need to succeed. You are enough. You're equipped from greatness. You're powerful beyond your greatest imagination. This is the now, and I want to see you're working. I want you to do that. I want you to feel it. I want you to struggle.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I want you to hurt. I want you to bleed. I want you to fight. Because this is that time. Show the world and show up and show out. You've got to understand that it takes grit, passion, and determination to get to the level of where you want to be. Beyond the sky, there's a great big universe.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Now what are you going to do about it? Be brave. Never surrender. Only you know what path are taking each moment of your life. You must approach the path with bravery. Never surrender. Lions never surrender because they have heart. Lions are the king of the jungle and they cannot show any signs of weakness. Lines do not make excuses. They execute. And no matter how outnumber they are, they're willing to die for their dignity. Do you have what it takes to keep going?
Starting point is 00:19:09 Do you how what it takes to go that extra mile? Do that extra push-up? Run that extra lap. Lift that extra weight. What if you don't surrender? They may be smarter than you. They may be faster than you. They may be bigger than you.
Starting point is 00:19:25 But because you have the mentality of a lion, you will win. You will not be dethrone. You will not be defeated. You will not be detached from your purpose. You will have everything you, want because there's a lion within but I'm king of my jungle because of my mentality. Some of you don't even realize you have unfinished business. You need to go back where you left
Starting point is 00:19:54 off with a new perspective. Go back to the gym. Go back to the drawing board, to the relationship, go back to the burning building. You have unfinished business. All you got to do and show up with a new game plan and a new perspective. You got a finished business. You have a finished business. It's everything. Let's go. I need you to hear me loud and clear.
Starting point is 00:20:29 How you see this thing is everything. You cannot change the past, but you can't change your perspective about it. You've got to see this thing differently. Stop complaining about the divorce. Stop complaining about the job loss. Stop complaining about the relocation. You're viewing.
Starting point is 00:20:50 viewpoint is your advantage. Thank you for breaking up with me. Here's what you did. You opened up another opportunity for somebody else to come into my life. Thank you for firing me. You gave me an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship. I'm not bitter. I'm better. Perspective is what changes the game. Everybody wants increase in abundance and lifestyle change and new zip codes and new area codes. But you only read once a week. And you only work out once. twice a month. And so the reason why you don't have what it is that you see, the reason why what's in your head is not in your hands, it's not your reality, is because your perspective opposes your potential. You don't have it because you don't see the value in it. If you believe you've been called to be the difference maker, the game changer, the disruptor, the person that comes into a room and commands the atmosphere. If you believe you've been called to be necessary and not grossly irrelevant,
Starting point is 00:22:04 then everything you do, everything you see, everything rises and falls on your perspective, your perception, your viewpoint. How do you see this thing? What happens when your perspective, your perception diametrically opposes your reality? If you are going to give and grow, and evolve and attain and become. Everything rises and falls on your viewpoint. Show me somebody that hates to work out. And I'll show you a man that almost lost his life. And the doctor said, if you don't work out, you'll die.
Starting point is 00:22:44 One sees it as cumbersome. One season as a problem. Another one sees it as a privilege. He sees it as his second chance, his new lease on life. That I have to work out. to work out. I get a chance to live a little longer. So one person sees the gym as a prison and another person sees the gym as a passport. One man came within inches of losing his life and another man has never come within a hundred miles of losing his life and he only walks
Starting point is 00:23:15 out twice a month and somebody else walks out four or five times a week. The reason why you only do it once or twice a month is because you don't see the value. Your viewpoint is either your advantage or you're assassin. Your viewpoint will either get you going or get you killed. We see a storm, we see rain, and we think depression. We think I can't do anything. Instead of thinking, grass can't grow without rain. Roses don't bloom without rain.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Number one, there's one thing I need you to stop saying, and that is, I should do something. That perspective, that viewpoint, that ideology, that, philosophy, that mindset, it's going to get you bankrupt. I should start this. I should stop that. I should forgive. I should. You don't get what you should.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You get what you must have. I must work out X amount of times a week. I must forgive. I must evolve. I must become. I must retain. I must grow. I must live.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I must evolve. I must go to the next level. I must live in this type of house. I must drive this type of car. I don't care how bad you think the shoes are that you are wearing. There is another man in this world who would kill to walk a mile and the pair that you wear. Marcus, what does this mean? This means that what you are complaining about, what you hate, what you can't stand,
Starting point is 00:24:55 what you want to walk out of, what you want to give up on. There was somebody out there that would die. to be in your position. And so here's what I need you to ask yourself, is this problem an issue or is it an opportunity? Some of you, all you've been waiting for your whole life, was an opportunity. What if losing your job was the opportunity?
Starting point is 00:25:18 What if the divorce is an opportunity? What if the bankruptcy is an opportunity? What if the one you love was an opportunity for you to reconnect with somebody and forgive them? I need you to see the bigger picture. I need you to have a little gratitude. You need to learn how to smile. You need to work out.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I know you hate the gym. I know you hate to lift weights. I know you hate cardio. I know you don't like drinking water. I know you don't like taking care of your temple. You think it's the hardest thing to do in the world to commit. But there is somebody who's in the grave today. And if they had another opportunity to live,
Starting point is 00:25:57 They would enthusiastically with great confidence and courage and consistency do what you hate just to live a little longer. Find the positive. See the bigger picture. Guard your gratitude. The trial, the tribulation, the adversity, the giant is not your assassin. The giant is your opportunity. Are you going to complain in the face of conflict? Or are you going to seize the opportunity? I don't care what it is that you're trying to achieve, what you're trying to accomplish, what you're trying to give, how you're trying to evolve, what you are looking to become. Everything rises and falls on your perspective. Stop complaining about the jealousy and the envy and the backbiting and the person that gave up on you and the person that wasn't present and the person that lied to you and the person that attempted to manipulate and control. I'm not weary, I'm wiser, I'm not toxic, I'm triumphant.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I see this thing differently. This season that you've entered into did not come to break you. It came to build you. And to the man or woman God has destined you to be. Change your perspective. If you don't see that light, you're gonna lose your mind yourself. You will snap if you don't see past this. the challenge for many of us is that we got to see past our present pain
Starting point is 00:27:59 and end to the fruitfulness of the future. Perspective makes the impossible. I change the past, but you can always change your perspective. It could be solved from the same level of consciousness that created. The severity of your problems is a matter of perspective. Change your perspective, and most of them become. insignificant. Some of them will no longer exist as problems, but opportunities. The right perspective of is the instrument you need, the tool you need. It's a discipline. It's an advantage. If you change
Starting point is 00:28:46 the way you look at things, then the things that you see will change. Knowledge, a speech, a motivational moment will not sustain you unless you put it into perspective. How will you see the rest of your day? Because how you see the rest of your day will oftentimes determine the way you see the rest of your life. Shift your perspective. If you can change your perspective, you can change the future. Many of you listening to me right now, you have unfinished business.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And you need to go back to that dream, back to that idea. You have a date with destiny. You have unfinished business. It's time for you to go. back to the drawing board with a new perspective. It's your viewpoint. And watch this. Your perspective actually shapes your language.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And your language shapes your world. And so if you don't start thinking right, you're not going to talk right. And if you're not talking right, you're not going to experience the world that you see in your head. I don't know who God has called you to become. But what I can tell you is if you keep seeing it, the way you have seen it, You will never become it. Everybody wants next level. Everybody wants wealth and influence and everybody wants to be this esoteric novelty.
Starting point is 00:30:12 But listen to me, you will never experience any of this. Showing up in your next season with the same viewpoint. You're pushing and you're doing everything right. You're tired. You're exhausted. And ain't nothing happening yet. To what you're waiting for. No different because we've messed up because you fell off the wagon.
Starting point is 00:31:03 You've been on alcohol and drinking. and you gave up on life and you dropped out or you've been to jail one time, two times, three times, and you really want your dream to happen and you're putting in your work and nothing's happening yet. If you keep pushing, if you keep giving me all your effort, it will happen. It must happen. It can't do anything but move. You can do anything but make progress. But I want you all to understand and saying that word that you all have to stop getting caught up in movement as progress. For some of us, the action of making progress is progress.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Itself, the fight, you get up and swing and miss, that's progress. You get up and you run at what you want with everything you got and you miss. That's progress. The effort of making the attempt is progress. And so guess what? The goals and the dreams are in that mindset. to do nothing, I'll get to it tomorrow. I'll do it the next day, I do it the day after that. We're in a mindset of quitting. And if you want to make sure you become successful, it's not will you quit,
Starting point is 00:32:22 it's where you stop preparing to quit. You gotta give up on saying, look, I can do that tomorrow. Look, this is my time for rest. This is my time for break. There is no quit. Guess what? Dreams don't stop people do. And then you have the nerve to think
Starting point is 00:32:40 or to ask yourself, you're not successful and you see it happen every day on Monday morning somebody's gonna get up and they gonna hand in their resignation going to a new job on Monday morning somebody gonna get up lifting more than you on Monday morning somebody gonna get up running faster than you on Monday morning somebody gonna get up with their name hired in the drafting you on Monday morning somebody's gonna be getting that scholarship that you could have got that's what on Monday morning somebody's gonna get up whistling to take that test why you worry why there's no
Starting point is 00:33:07 difference between them and you they're not faster they're not smarter they're not stronger they're not better they just don't quit you give up you give up you believe that 24 hours that 48 hours you deserve to be all you deserve to relax and always remember this though it's somebody grinding if somebody pushing harder than you and somebody giving up more than you guess what until you getting that mental mindset that you will not prepare to quit you will never succeed because if you prepared to quit quitting is inevitable I'm gonna have the same amount of time the same advantage no excuse they're not gonna have an hour more than me they're not gonna have six hours extra to me I'm
Starting point is 00:33:44 going grind just as long and I'm gonna grind longer and I'm gonna prepare myself to be successful why one reason I don't quit I don't prepare myself in the mindset to quit and if you don't understand this right now that you're gonna have to push harder you're going to fight longer you're gonna have to give in with everything you got you're gonna have to give up more you're gonna have to not be lazy you're going to not listen to that oh you you're going to believe that this extra time I can use on the weekend or at the end of the day or At night when other people are singing, when everybody's at the family union, when other people on vacation at the beach, I'm going to run, I'm going to get it, and I'm going to make my dreams a reality.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Nobody going to stop me but me. That's the only person that can. Understand, if you want to make your dreams a reality, he's got to understand that you can't quit. For when you want your dream to become a reality, that don't mean your dream. Listen to you, baby. I'm not coach right now. I'm your conscience. You're in a fight between.
Starting point is 00:34:50 will and skill. I say will first because that's where you are. You locked and loaded with skill. You practicing every day. You're putting in your work. You're buying everything. You're making the investment.
Starting point is 00:35:05 You live in your dream. You're walking like your dream. You're surrounding yourself around your dream. You've got mentors, everything. You're putting your work and you got your skill. Now it's the test of your will. It's a mindset thing you're in right now. It's a mindset thing.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Because your challenge, your challenge ain't moving. Your mountain is not moving. You don't feel like you're making any progress. You're not physically moving when you see everything else around you and other people around you moving. You're not making progress. You're in the test of your will right now because life says it has a little more test for you. Look at your challenge with skill and it will see it just as that. A challenge at your challenge and see it as much.
Starting point is 00:36:07 to me clearly. You may forget this face, you may forget this voice, you may forget who told you, but get your pads out, don't ever forget these words that I'm about to tell you. If you want to be great in this life, you only have one choice, gentlemen, you only have one choice. You can make choices that just get you remember, or you can make choices that ultimately make you a legend. If you put as much time into working on winning, If you put into thinking about losing, you'd already be a champion. When we're going to get tired of just knowing and seeing successful people and become one of them? Time is out to sit up and just make these average decisions, to make these irrelevant decisions that don't change you.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Don't change your family. Don't change society. Don't change your environment. Don't change the world. It's time to make decisions that make you a letter to see it every day. But the only difference, baby. You gonna make a choice to just be remembered? Or you're gonna make a choice to become a legend. You gotta stop quitting. We gotta stop giving up. All this T-G-I-F, T-G-I-F.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It is now T-G-I-A. Thank God I'm alive. We open our eyes and we're in our right mind. We live as though we really appreciate that opportunity. And every time I see a post, every time I see a tweet or just anything, I want to ask the person, why are you thanking God it's Friday? Hello, news class. Tomorrow is Saturday, but day after that is Sunday, the day after that is Monday.
Starting point is 00:37:54 What do you thanking God is Friday for? Because you're preparing to quit. You're preparing to stop what you doing. You're prepared to clock out. You're prepared to go home, and you're in the mental mindset. I dare you to get prepared for the time. the challenges of your life by getting rid of comfort. I dare you.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I dare you if you don't have a ride for work that you want, that you won't have a ride for work that you want, and then when you get there, you take the stairs. I dare you not to take the brain, baby. I dare you to work through your lunch. I dare you when it's hot, that you work back, when it's cold, you work longer. I dare you learn something new today
Starting point is 00:38:31 that you didn't know yesterday. I dare you to. I dare you to run past that challenge. I dare you to face adversity. I dare you to look at it and say, look, I'm more than this. right now I can't handle it. I dare you to let me get your obstacles like a mountain. I dare you to stop running from it. I dare you to stop throwing away food because you scared we're going to eat it at night. I dare you to stop taking a detour because it's a crack out on the corner and it's a liquor for on the street. I dare you to stop running from your addiction. I dare you start running from the old woman. Becomes maybe you know you can become. Mountains aren't going to move. You got to climb that bad boy, baby. You cannot get what you want in your life. You're not being comfortable. Comfort and Consistency versus an intensity problem.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Consistency is when you do something. Intensity is how you do something. And that's why many of you, no matter what you do, no matter how much you do it, no matter who you're looking at, no matter what you read, you're going to be denied because you think that just being consistent at something that's going to let you win.
Starting point is 00:39:46 That earns you the right to win. I'm being denied that corner office. I'm being denied that car. I'm being denied this quality of life. If I'm being denied that opportunity, this scholarship, I keep getting cut off the team. You know, if I just stay, if I just keep practicing and I just stay around this team, sooner or later I'll make it. No, you won't. No, you won't.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Because consistency does not guarantee you the win. Many of you, as bad as you don't want to accept this, you're never going to win because you're not intense enough. Until you get intense to the point that nothing, Nothing will get in your way, that you will not get in your way. You'll never win. I wish that I could tell you that the load you carry will get lighter. It won't. As time passes, you'll find it will get heavier.
Starting point is 00:40:49 The mountain that you need to climb will get higher. The ocean that you need to cross will get wider. Trust me, when I tell you that you don't want to wait. Indecision is a decision. A decision to fail, a decision to waste your potential. Time won't wait for you. Time doesn't wait for anyone. The clock keeps ticking in life.
Starting point is 00:41:14 There are no timeouts, no breaks, and no rest stops. Remember something else that if Plan A doesn't work, there are 25 other letters in the alphabet. This isn't three strikes in your out. This isn't baseball. It's the real world. And that means there's no limit on how many times. you're allowed to try. The only time your dream dies is when you decide to quit. You need to be ready for what's to come. When the darkness sets in, when you feel like you can't take another step
Starting point is 00:41:47 forward, believe in yourself. You will keep going. You will persevere. You will weather the story. Trust in yourself. The kind of trust a bird has. You see, the bird doesn't put its trust in the branch. It puts its trust in its own ways, so when the branch breaks, it can still fly. Again, you can weather any storm. You can withstand anything the world throws out. Remember that the safest path brings the least reward. Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start believing in what could go right. There may be a million reasons you're afraid to follow your dreams, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go after what your heart desires. Dare to face your fears, dare to take risks, dare to be better. The real question is how bad do you want it and what are you willing
Starting point is 00:42:41 to do to get it? Within you is a power far greater than you can imagine. Harness that power and unleash it. Believe in yourself way before anyone else does. Believe that your dreams can come true. believe in your capacity for greatness. Success isn't about greatness. It's about consistency. No one's born great. You don't get to choose how you start in this life, but you do get to choose what you do.
Starting point is 00:43:22 We all have a choice when it comes to building our future. If you show up day after day and work hard, if you give your full effort, if you leave nothing on the table, then greatness and success will come. You'll be faced with difficult situations. There'll be times that you don't believe in your ability to persevere. There'll be times you feel incapable of rising
Starting point is 00:43:49 to meet the challenges that face you. You'll be tempted to turn your back and run. But running is never the best option. When you're in the middle of a struggle, the only way out is through. Rather than running away from obstacles or trying to figure out some kind of way around them, go right through them.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Brace yourself, steady your nerves, put your head down, and tackle whatever you face head on. The storm may jar you a bit, but I promise that you won't buckle and you won't break. Even your ability to weather the storm. When you come out on the other side, you'd be better for showing your strength.
Starting point is 00:44:32 The fears you face along the way, they'll make you better. Our biggest fears always carry with them the greatest opportunity for personal growth. Our fears and how we face them brings out the best in us. If something doesn't scare us, if something doesn't challenge us, it doesn't change us. In life, we have two choices. We either step forward, expose ourselves to risk and evolve, or we play it safe, and we step backwards into the shadows.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Dreams aren't going to come true on their own, so it's time to get to work. It's not going to be easy. Great things never get dropped in your lap, and they never start from comfort zones. If you want to be something you've never been, you need to do something you've never done. Scary, right? Wrong. You know what's really scary? Being trapped in a perpetual cycle of unhappiness. Looking at yourself in the mirror each day and not liking the reflection you see staring back at you.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Don't live your life like that. At any time, you can change your circumstances and you can change your life. You have the power to do anything you want to do. You just need to be willing to do things different. than you've done before. You need to be willing to take risks. You need to be daring. If you're willing to step out of your safe zone, if you're willing to stand at the edge of the cliff and jump, if you're willing to do what you've never done, you'll give yourself the power to become what you've never been. Will it be easy? Probably not. But if you want to change your life, you'll need to do
Starting point is 00:46:15 what's right, not what's easy. Too many people choose the easy road even when they know it's not the right road. Take the path less traveled. Real greatness isn't determined by some birthright or fate. Real greatness is determined by what you do with the hand that you're dealt. The true secret of success is to accept the truth that the only path is the path of hard work and productivity. You'll get where you want to go and achieve your goals if you follow four simple rules. Show up, work hard, don't quit, and ask some questions. the way. Do you want to coast through life without fulfilling the potential that lives within you? Do you really want to wake up one day and realize that all of the dreams you have had have passed you
Starting point is 00:47:09 by? Each one of us has dreams and we have passions. We have things that we want to accomplish. You're the only person who needs to be okay with how you live your life. You could be hated by everyone and if you're okay with your actions and behavior, you'll be content. At the same you can be loved and adored by every damn person on the planet. But if you're not okay with how you've lived your life, you'll go to bed with emptiness. At the end of the day, if you and you alone can look yourself in the mirror and be contempt the choices you've made, then that's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Believe in everything that you are and understand that within you, there's something greater than any obstacle you'll ever face. Have faith in your abilities. Work hard, never give up, and there's nothing you can't accomplish. So the key is to just do you. With the right amount of confidence, anything is possible. No matter what you set out to do, your first word should always be, I believe in me. The most important person to believe in is always yourself.
Starting point is 00:48:23 The time, it wants to win, but they don't understand what it means to sacrifice to win at all. Everybody wants to be a champion, but are you prepared to work hard enough to become the champion? champion that you believe you can be. Do you think you have the mindset now? You understand what it means to get into what they call beast mode. But I'm here to let you know right now, ladies and gentlemen, in beast mode, it's about putting it on the line. It's about pushing yourself and giving it 110% of everything you got.
Starting point is 00:49:30 nothing that you can do once you're here except finish what's your start when the weakness starts to talk to you and whisper sweet nothing's in your ear you got to recognize that that conversation doesn't help you that conversation that you having with weakness is not going to build you it's not going to push you it's not going to lift you you got to recognize that there's work that must be done you got to be responsible you got to be capable you got to be willing to work for what you want I know sometimes people like to talk to talk I know some people like to pretend to be something they're not I know sometimes people say they're a lion but
Starting point is 00:50:23 you can't be a lion if you don't understand the rules of the jungle so ladies and gentlemen you got to recognize what it means to sacrifice, what it means to be powerful, what it means to be strong. This is your moment to shine, and if you're not willing to shine, then step aside. If you're not willing to work, then this is not the place for you. You've got to toughen up. You've got to look up. You've got to build up.
Starting point is 00:50:55 If you want it, this is the time to go get it. But you've got to work for it. You've got to believe in it. You've got to trust in it. You've got to let the power flow through the veins. The blood is real. The blood will push you. The puck that you're getting in this place right now is going to take you up and over the top.
Starting point is 00:51:17 But if you're not hungry, if you're not willing to get it, then you're going to starve. You're going to starve because you're not hungry. You're going to starve because you're not willing. You're going to starve because you don't want it. Only the hungry knows how to eat. Only the hungry knows how to fight. You don't have time to step back. You've got to go forward.
Starting point is 00:51:42 You've got to push harder. You've got to dig a little bit deeper. Some people, all they do is talk. When you're in this place of business, there is no talking. Your only conversation is moving what's in front of you. The only conversation is pushing when you feel you can't push. The only conversation is you against you. The rest doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:52:15 The excuses doesn't matter. The weakness doesn't count. Excuses, get out of my way. That's what this is about. So you got to recognize when it gets tough, you better get tough. Easy does not count. Easy does not work. You can't cheat your way up.
Starting point is 00:52:37 You got to push your way up. Not everyone is ready to be at the top. Not everyone is suitable to be at the top. If you're having a mental breakdown, then the body will believe everything that the mind is telling it to do. You've got to understand. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. And if the mind ain't right, then the body won't be right. You have to understand that you have to have a connection.
Starting point is 00:53:13 The connection of righteousness, the connection of fighting, the connection of faithfulness in you and your abilities and your strength and your honor and your integrity. Everything that you do on this moment counts in this place. You can't wait for someone else to push you through it. You got to push yourself. You are born and you are born to live and fight. So on this day, work a little bit harder. You can't do easy.
Starting point is 00:53:49 There is no easy and success. There is no easy in pushing that weight. There is no easy and running that extra mile. If it's easy, why are you doing it? If it's easy, how are you doing it? If it's easy, how are you growing? If it's easy, how are you gonna be your best? Suffer now and get the rewards later.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Don't ask for it. Take it! It's yours! Go get it! If you believe in the possibilities, then make it work for you. Now you got to also understand this. It ain't gonna be easy.
Starting point is 00:54:27 It's not gonna be a walk in the park. There's always more to give. You've got to be willing to sacrifice. You've got to be willing to hurt. You've got to be willing to yell up. Whatever it takes, keep pushing forward. Don't you give up on your life. Don't you give up on those reps.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Don't you give up on giving it what it takes to get the most of yourself. Some of you right now may be wondering. I'm not yelling. I'm always to scare away your excuse. Because maybe that weakness doesn't understand. Understand your power that
